I don't have a sense of smell! I have no memory of ever smelling anything, doesn't matter how strong the smell is: perfume, gasoline, rotten food, nothing.
I can taste sweet, sour, bitter, etc, just fine but I can't really tell what some spices taste like.
The main downsides have been not being able to tell if food is spoiled, sometimes it's easy to go by looks but theres been times where I've realized it's gone bad by tasting it or getting sick which is not fun, there's also a risk of not being able to smell gas leaks, I also get worried I stink!
On the flip side, I can't smell nasty stuff. Cleaning gross thinks is less difficult for sure lol
I do wish I could smell flowers, food, perfumes, the rain, coffee and all of those things but out of all our senses I think it's the easiest to live without.
